Lamps of the Middle East
There are many churches and indigenous Christian and interfaith organizations in the Middle East who are doing amazing work in service to their own communities. Many of these groups need and deserve your support–not just your money, but also your time and your prayers. Middle East Fellowship, through its Lamps of the Middle East program, would like to highlight these organizations.
If you would like to see your church or organization listed here, please contact us.
Lamps of the Middle East:
Holy Land Trust is a Palestinian not-for-profit organization established in 1998 in the holy city of Bethlehem. Holy Land Trust (HLT) seeks to empower the community through mobilizing its strengths and resources in order to address the challenges of the present and the future. This is done by working with the Palestinian community through developing nonviolent approaches which aim to end the Israeli occupation and by building a future that is founded on the principles of nonviolence, equality, justice, and peaceful coexistence.
Middle East Council of Churches
The Middle East Council of Churches is a fellowship of churches relating itself to the main stream of the modern ecumenical movement, the same which gave birth to the World Council and other regional ecumenical councils throughout the world.
Sabeel strives to develop a spirituality based on love, justice, peace, nonviolence, liberation and reconciliation for the different national and faith communities. The word "Sabeel" is Arabic for ‘the way‘ and also a ‘channel‘ or ‘spring‘ of life-giving water.
Sabeel also works to promote a more accurate international awareness regarding the identity, presence and witness of Palestinian Christians as well as their contemporary concerns. It encourages individuals and groups from around the world to work for a just, comprehensive and enduring peace informed by truth and empowered by prayer and action.
